How to customize the "labels", "read more," "posted by" and "comments" in blogger

This post can be totally useless to some as this is really a feature of Blogger. However, there can still be newbies out there like me who are just finding their way through. I spend so many hours on Google trying to look for a solution on how to change names of the "labels", "read more," "posted by" and "comments" here in Blogger. I found the answer when I wasn't even looking for it (Remember when you're trying to look for your pen and it can nowhere be found; then when you don't need it anymore, it's all over the house?)
